Fresh fruit juices

‘Fresh fruit juice’ is a recently launched new product range of Fruitmasters Juice B.V. This new fresh fruit juice range is a result of a new processing line of Fruitmasters Juice, using a special heat exchanger named the ‘Fresheur’, which was developed together with the NIZO Application Centre and an equipment manufacturer.

New processing technique developed
Fruitmasters Juice asked NIZO food research to assist in the development of the new processing technique, aiming at maintaining the freshness of the fruit juices during a shelf-life of three weeks. The key factors were taste and keeping the healthy ingredients during the shelf-life. The drinks were based on a variety of fruits (apples, oranges, pears, pineapple, raspberries and/or strawberries) which had their own taste and nutritional characteristics.
Together with the customer, fresh fruit juices have been produced in several production runs. The drinks have been evaluated using NIZO’s experience of visual, sensory, chemical and microbiological aspects. The key factors have been optimized using various processing and/or fruit combinations.

Proceed with development while your production plant is built
Testing in the NIZO Application Centre and Processing Centre has the advantage that the development of your product and/or production line can proceed, while your own production plant is being built. Results from the test runs at NIZO can be directly implemented in the design and the test products can be used for marketing and successful product presentations.
